      scouted to msd from a great career with a competitor, then made redundant.

      Pros

      I was offered more money to leave a great career with a competitor company that I had been with for many years.

      Cons

      I was scouted to join msd, only to be let go in a restructure. If I had known that this company history of major restructures yearly there is no way I would have moved. I wish I had never spoken to the person who recruited me, no doubt they probably got a spotter bonus for ruining my career.

      Hire Hire Hire Fire Fire Fire! Yearly job cuts Oct/Nov, 84 reps fired this year before Xmas. Very stressful workplace.

      Pros

      To ensure successful business transition to digital, MSD is fully adopting digital, emails and ways to directly market our bands with minimal need for traditional representative roles. Although our brands are delivering US$600m+ revenue and double digit growth in Australia, MSD routinely uses job cuts to prop up growth. This happens every year in Oct/Nov. Full time roles already being replaced by external contract employees from Hahn health.

      Cons

      Still too many representatives in primary care and specialty care, more reductions inevitable. We are shifting the way we interact with customers. Current rep vehicles are x-trail, Camry or Tucson, likely realignment of vehicle choice to suit much-reduced resourcing in 2020. More to come!

      Pros

      Casual atmosphere, nice co-workers, huge potential for projects to be very interesting

      Cons

      Brash and frustrating management, lack of recognition for delivery and contributed value, technically miles behind.
